Most Common Personal Injury Claims
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents often result from negligence, such as distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence. To pursue a claim, you must show that the at-fault driver had a legal duty to drive safely, they breached that duty through careless actions, and their breach directly caused your injuries and financial losses. Evidence like police reports, eyewitness testimony, and medical records strengthens these claims, helping to recover compensation for damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents occur when hazardous conditions, like wet floors or broken stairs, cause injuries on someone else’s property. A claim requires proving that the property owner had a duty to maintain a safe environment, they failed to address or warn about a dangerous condition, and this failure caused your injury. Strong evidence, such as photographs of the hazard and medical records linking the injury to the fall, is essential to establish the owner’s negligence and secure compensation.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death claims seek justice for families who lose a loved one due to another party’s negligence or intentional harm. To succeed, you must show that the at-fault party owed the deceased a duty of care, breached that duty through wrongful actions, and caused the death. Surviving family members can recover damages for emotional suffering, lost financial support, and funeral expenses with the help of evidence like medical records, witness statements, and expert testimony.
Assault and Battery
Assault and battery claims involve intentional acts of harm, such as physical attacks. To hold the perpetrator accountable, you must prove they intended to cause harm, their actions directly caused your injuries, and you suffered measurable damages. Evidence like witness testimony, medical reports, and police records supports these claims and strengthens your case for compensation.
Product Liability
Product liability claims involve injuries caused by defective or dangerous products. These claims require proving that the product was defective in its design, manufacturing, or labeling, and that the defect caused your injury while you were using the product as intended. Evidence such as the defective product itself, proof of your injuries, and financial losses helps build a strong case for compensation.
Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries arise from unsafe conditions, equipment malfunctions, or employer negligence. A strong claim shows the injury occurred during work-related duties and resulted from unsafe practices or environments. To pursue compensation, you must report the injury promptly, provide evidence of the hazardous condition, and link your injury to the work environment through medical documentation and witness accounts.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider fails to meet the professional standard of care, resulting in harm. To make a claim, you must demonstrate that the provider owed you a duty of care, breached that duty through negligent actions like misdiagnosis or surgical errors, and caused your injury. Expert testimony, medical records, and documentation of damages such as additional medical expenses or prolonged recovery are crucial to proving malpractice.
